v2: A few typos corrected, a few formulations improved. On $X$ projective smooth over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, we show that irreducible stratified bundles have rank 1 if and only if the commutator $[\pi_1^{{\rm…

Let $X$ be a normal, connected and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. It is known that a vector bundle $V$ on $X$ is essentially finite if and only if it is trivialized by a proper surjective morphism $f:Y\to X$. In…

We construct vector bundles $R^r_\mu$ on a smooth projective curve $X$ having the property that for all sheaves $E$ of slope $\mu$ and rank $r$ on $X$ we have an equivalence: $E$ is a semistable vector bundle $\iff$ $Hom(R^r_\mu,E)=0$. As a…

Let S be a smooth projective surface, K be the canonical class of S and H be an ample divisor such that H.K<0 . In this paper we prove that for any rigid (Ext^1(F,F)=0) semistable sheaf F in the sense of Mumford--Takemoto stability w.r.t. H…

Let k be a separably closed field. Let G be a reductive algebraic k-group. In this paper, we study Serre's notion of complete reducibility of subgroups of G over k. In particular, using the recently proved center conjecture of Tits, we show…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…

A viable and still unproved conjecture states that, if $X$ is a smooth algebraic surface and $C$ is a smooth algebraic curve in $X$, then $C$ realizes the smallest possible genus amongst all smoothly embedded $2$-manifolds in its homology…

In this article we study a special class of vector bundles, called tensors. A tensor consists of a vector bundle $E$ over a smooth irreducible projective variety and a morphism of vector bundles $\varphi$. As for classical vector bundles,…

We consider the problem of existence of semistable systems of Hodge bundles with parabolic structure over a finite set $S \subset \mathbb P^1$ of type $(1,n)$. That is, we consider parabolic Higgs bundles $(\mathcal E, \theta)$, where…

We prove that the normal bundle of a general Brill-Noether curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ is semistable if $g=1$ or $g\geq \left \lceil \frac{5r}{2}\right\rceil r(r-1)$, or $d$ is larger than an explicit function…

Let $\gg$ be a complex reductive Lie algebra and $\kk\subset\gg$ be any reductive in $\gg$ subalgebra. We call a $(\gg,\kk)$-module $M$ bounded if the $\kk$-multiplicities of $M$ are uniformly bounded. In this paper we initiate a general…

We study the following question: Given a vector bundle on a projective variety $X$ such that the restriction of $E$ to every closed curve $C \,\subset\, X$ is ample, under what conditions $E$ is ample? We first consider the case of an…

We prove a myriad of results related to the stabilizer in an algebraic group $G$ of a generic vector in a representation $V$ of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Our results are on the level of group schemes, which carries more…

We provide a generalization of Mehta-Ramanathan theorems to framed sheaves: we prove that the restriction of a $\mu$-semistable framed sheaf on a nonsingular projective irreducible variety, of dimension greater or equal than two, to a…

Let C be a curve of genus g and L a line bundle of degree 2g on C . Let M be the kernel of the evaluation map from the trivial bundle with fibre H^0(C,L) into L . We show that when L is general enough, the rank g bundle M and its exterior…

We prove a general specialization theorem which implies stable irrationality for a wide class of quadric surface bundles over rational surfaces. As an application, we solve with the exception of two cases, the stable rationality problem for…

The purpose of this paper is to translate positivity properties of the tangent bundle (and the anti-canonical bundle) of an algebraic manifold into existence and movability properties of rational curves and to investigate the impact on the…

In this paper we proof the existence of a linearization for singular principal G-bundles not depending on the base curve. This allow us to construct the relative compact moduli space of {\delta}-(semi)stable singular principal G-bundles…

For a reductive group $G$ over a finite field $k$, and a smooth projective curve $X/k$, we give a motivic counting formula for the number of absolutely indecomposable $G$-bundles on $X$. We prove that the counting can be expressed via the…

We consider various generalisations of the string class of a loop group bundle. The string class is the obstruction to lifting a bundle whose structure group is the loop group $LG$ to one whose structure group is the Kac-Moody central…
